00:00Ломбарди, Крис Демпси,
00:01standing by with all the info.
00:12Now let's get you back
00:13to the Motor Center
00:14in the iconic adventurous
00:15Toyota 4Runner.
00:17It's available now
00:18at your Front Range Toyota stores.
00:24Well, suffice it to say
00:26the Nuggets have built up
00:27a very nice lead
00:28as we head towards the third quarter.
00:30But first, let's check in
00:31with Scott Hastings
00:32presented by HCA Health 1.
00:35Well, you're sitting there
00:36looking at this lead
00:36and going, wow,
00:37that's been pretty easy.
00:38No, let me show you how it started.
00:40Denver was down 10-2.
00:42And all of a sudden,
00:43they decided to start playing fast.
00:45Nicola made a couple threes.
00:47They got out on the run.
00:48They started attacking.
00:49The defense picked up.
00:50They started getting turnovers.
00:51And so many people got involved.
00:54And after going down 10-2
00:56in the first, what,
00:58two and a half minutes
00:59in that quarter,
01:00they outscore Portland 39-17
01:03the rest of that quarter.
01:05And that was the start of it.
01:07So you sit there
01:08and look at this lead right now
01:10and say, wow, that's 29 points.
01:11How'd you get there?
01:13Well, it started with a little run
01:15after trailing in this game 10-2.
01:17A great note.
01:18It's been a long time
01:19since the Nuggets put up
01:2082 on the road.
01:2219-90.
01:24Now, the Nuggets did a pretty good job
01:26on Denny Abdiah,
01:29who just had six points, Scott.
01:31Forcing him left.
01:33And, Katie, I know he's still a focus
01:35even here in the second half.
01:37Yeah.
01:37Keep this going.
01:38You have to have that same energy,
01:39that same intention
01:40as you did in the first half
01:41according to assistant coach
01:42Rodney Billups.
01:43And then I asked him,
01:44what was the best part
01:45of that first half?
01:46He said, obviously, the shooting.
01:47The way the Nuggets were able
01:48to knock in shots.
01:49But also, Jokic
01:50and his assertiveness
01:51really wants to see that continue, too.
01:53Well, in case you missed it,
01:55you joined us late.
01:55Jokic came out firing.
01:57He had 19 in the first quarter.
02:0124 in the half.
02:04And we got a foul
02:05and Murray to the line.
02:06We'll see if it's going to be
02:07three free throws again.
02:10Murray was short on the shot
02:11and again, it was Holliday
02:12kind of going,
02:13crazy at the end of it
02:15to run right through it.
02:19So, Jamal at the line.
02:22Drops it in.
02:23Time now for a whole story
02:24presented by Advent Health
02:25reminding us to never
02:27underestimate the human spirit.
02:28Nicola Jokic's first quarter
02:31smoking hot.
02:3219-7 of 12.
02:34Three for four.
02:35And then the second quarter,
02:35Jamal Murray taking over.
02:394-6 in that three-point line.
02:45He got fouled on a three-pointer
02:47and made three free throws, too.
02:49Mm-hmm.
02:50There's your 15 points.
02:54Murray is up to 20.
02:56And now 21.
02:59And the Nuggets with their
03:01biggest lead, 32 points.
03:05See if they can keep up the
03:06defensive pressure also.
03:08Holliday.
03:10I'll make it Jeremy Grant.
03:12Excuse me.
03:13As Grant hits from the baseline.
03:15You see the switch right here.
03:17they're putting Kamara.
03:18Good defensive player on Joker.
03:21Putting Klingon off of him.
03:22And that's going to be an illegal
03:23three seconds defensively on
03:25Jeremy Grant.
03:26Just staying in the middle.
03:28So, they've switched up.
03:30They put Klingon.
03:31Klingon.
03:32I was watching Star Trek.
03:35Klingon off off of Joker.
03:38Putting Kamara who's a good player
03:40but lighter.
03:40And you can tell they're going to
03:41start sending help right away
03:43and doubling him.
03:45Murray knocks in the tech.
03:50Tiago splitter.
03:51Remember Ty Lue.
03:53Earlier in the year decided
03:54we're just going to let Joker go.
03:56We're not going to double him
03:56or anything.
03:57And he said okay.
03:58I'll take 55.
04:00Yeah exactly.
04:01He said yeah.
04:02I think we could hold him to 40.
04:05Strother over the top.
04:06Got it.
04:07Now Julian Strother feeling his oats.
04:11Knocks it in.
04:12He's got 11.
04:12So he's in double figures.
04:15Now Abdiya.
04:16See he.
04:17They make me laugh.
04:18But Christian's running that screen.
04:21And then what does Abdiya do?
04:22Get right back to that right hand
04:23where he gets comfortable to pull up
04:25for that jumper.
04:26Abdiya eight.
04:27Ten assists.
04:28Six rebounds.
04:34Murray.
04:36Off the mark.
04:37Abdiya the rebound.
04:39Abdiya always in a hurry.
04:40Trying to crash the lane.
04:42Here he comes.
04:44And basket counts foul.
04:46And which way did he go?
04:50Got him left.
04:51Got in front of him.
04:51He spun into the middle.
04:54Christian doesn't like to call.
04:55Left you good.
04:56Good.
04:56Watch.
04:57Let him get back to the middle.
04:58See the hand in there.
04:59He rises.
05:01That's what Abdiy wants to do.
05:02He wants to get to the right hand.
05:04He wants you to get that arm in there.
05:06He wants to get to.
05:07And once.
05:09Abdiya an 80% free throw shooter.
05:11He misses.
05:14Denver get back out.
05:15Play quick.
05:23Jokic in on Kamara.
05:25Christian Brown over to Murray.
05:26Bump fake.
05:27We got a fly by.
05:28Murray.
05:28Yes.
05:30Jamal Murray.
05:31Shooting the rock tonight.
05:34Averaging 24 and 9 assists in February.
05:39Clinging.
05:40They leave him wide open.
05:42And he knocks it in.
05:43One, two, three.
05:46He can rebound.
05:48And when he makes threes watch out.
05:50They let DeAndre Aidan go because of Clingin.
05:54As Jokic rolls into the lane with a little.
05:57Jump hook.
06:00Jokic made 9 of 14 shots.
06:02He's got 26 points.
06:04One, two, three.
06:07Jokic made 9 of 14 shots.

10:57Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
11:27He's got 10 points, so he joins the double figures parade
11:32Right hand, see, connect
11:34That's what he does
11:35When he's right, Danny Obdia is an all-star, right, Chris?
11:40He's a real big all-star when he gets to that right hand
11:43They did such a good job not letting him get to the left
11:47I believe he's never nearly got a finger on it
11:51Chris, he made a little hook-running layup
11:53Danny Obdia leads the NBA in drives per game
11:57At 19 and a half
12:00And I guarantee you there's an analytic guy somewhere
12:03Could break that down right or left, right?
12:06When he goes to right, he is a different, different player
12:10He was traded by Washington to Portland in July of 2024
12:14And he has flourished
12:16Well, Washington didn't give much blame to
12:25Jokic
12:26Wheels inside off the glass
12:29Got it again
12:30Got fouled to
12:3128 now for Jokic
12:34And the lead bounces back to 33
12:43Obdia has got his total
12:45He wants to go right
12:45Floats it up
12:46Good play there
12:47Robert Williams
12:49He's had kind of an injury history
12:51Nice pass there
12:53But when he's right
12:54He's a good player
12:55Yeah, yeah, yeah
12:56Big, strong, and physical
12:58Had a big game against Denver
12:59A couple years ago
13:00In Carolina
13:03Well, that's a technical too
13:05And Joker's saying he's holding on the rim
13:07It should be goaltending
13:10They're saying Williams got
13:12Or was it Jeremy that was on the rim
13:15Pulling the rim down
13:16Is that goaltending
13:17And this foul would be an and one
13:21Yeah, you may have to take a look at this
13:24What a pass
13:25Right through the five hole
13:29Grant just stayed on it
13:30But he's got
13:31He's on the rim
13:32Pulling down on it
13:33The young official
13:33Doesn't have a clue
13:34What's going on
13:37Curtis Blair
13:37Is the crew chief
13:44That's something you don't see
13:45Very often
13:46For sure
13:49Nuggets lobbying here
13:50They don't think
13:51They're going to get it
13:52Christian Brown
13:53Is going to be at the free throw line
13:55He's going to get two free throws
13:58They're saying
13:59You can hold the rim to protect yourself
14:01To somebody underneath you
14:02And they're saying
14:02The foul occurred
14:03Before the ball got to the backboard
14:06Why it's not a goaltending
14:07Let's go over, Katie
14:08Guys, I have kind of an interesting story here
14:10I asked Nicole Jokic
14:11When I did that sit-down interview with him
14:13Before All-Star
14:14About the scratches that he gets on his arms
14:17And he remembers where they came from
14:19I was kind of walked through
14:21Some of the scars that he has
14:22And he was telling me
14:23This one came from
14:24When he was playing for the national team in Serbia
14:26This one came from Clint Capella
14:28So just an interesting note
14:29On Nicole Jokic and the scratches
14:31He does remember who gave them to him
14:32And he says it's just because
14:33He plays a very physical style game
14:35He's the one initiating that sort of contact
14:38Well, you're going to get banged up
14:40If you play in the NBA
14:41And Jokic can dish it out
14:43He also has to take it a lot of the time
14:45When he's double and triple team
14:47Now he's singled up
14:49Pass it out
14:50Murray's loose for three
14:51That's short
14:55Blazers have it
14:56Murray goes to the steal
14:59Three ball, no good
15:04Give it to Strother
15:06Strother
15:06And a nice block there
15:09By Jeremy Grant
15:13Now, Johnson is going to go out
15:16Hardaway Jr. is in
15:17Trey Rollins
15:18Whenever you get a block like that
15:20That's the guy
15:21Don't you have cable
15:25Wayne Tree Rollins
15:27As I recall
15:29Trying to set up
15:30Oh my goodness
15:35They're going to call Murray for the shove
15:36They want to look at this
15:38Joker is going to hold the ball
15:39Throw it to the official way down
15:41Give him some time
15:50The ball's in play too late
15:52And they finally said
15:54Hey, challenge it
15:58Long range
15:59No
16:00And
16:01Portland fouls
16:03Nikola Jokic
16:06Jokic
16:0728-7-7
16:11And there are the scratches Katie was talking about
16:14Those look like fresh scratches
16:16Do they not?
16:17Fairly fresh
16:21And that's going to be a foul on Grant
16:25Joker
16:26Pass it to the opposite wing
16:27Cut to the basket like you should
16:29Grant just outsized
16:31Had to pull and get a hold of him
16:33Shouldn't be in the bonus
16:37And on Nikola Jokic
16:39Has made five of seven at the free throw line
16:42Nuggets 16 of 20 tonight
16:48Nuggets scored 41 in each of the first two corners
16:54For the aggregate total of 82
17:02Jokic on triple-double watch for sure
17:04There they are
17:05The numbers
17:11After the initial
17:13Couple of minutes of the game
17:15It's been all Denver
17:19Kamara
17:20Corner three
17:21It's no good
17:22And a good box out
17:23By Christian Brown on Avdia
17:27Nuggets push it ahead
17:30Hardaway for three
17:31Got it
17:33Tim Hardaway making it look easy
17:35111 to 74
17:41The lob no
17:42Jokic has it
17:43He's got Hardaway on the wing
17:46Hardaway run it in
17:47No
17:47But he's fouled
17:51Joker said he's sorry
17:53Let him a little bit too much
17:55Tim go over batting ball to Jeff
17:57Hardaway say just leave me enough
17:58But I'll shoot that three
18:00No timeout called
18:02The Nuggets out on the run
18:06111 to 74
18:08At the moment
18:13The seven points
18:15Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, Katie Winge
18:18Big crowd
18:19A little bit disappointed
18:20But the Nuggets
18:22As we've mentioned a couple times
18:23Putting on the wits
18:24Behind Nicola Jokic
18:25Who's got 37 and 7
18:28We had nowhere to go
18:29We had nowhere to go
18:31Let's see
18:32Now Jamal Murray chipping in
18:34With 25-6-6
18:36And the Nuggets
18:40With a scoring bonanza
18:42So far
18:44Yeah
18:45And we'll discuss this
18:47And this is going to be interesting
18:51And you and I talked to him
18:53This is the quickest
18:54I've seen him come out
18:55And try to play
18:56You know
18:56And pace is what it is
18:58I know it's an analytic
18:59And all this
19:00But they came out
19:02Intentional
19:03It looked like
19:03To push the temple
19:04Of this game
19:05And I think it caught
19:07Portland on their heels
19:08And they've been kind of
19:09Fighting it the whole time
19:10Do you like that
19:11For the Denver Nuggets
19:12A quicker pace
19:12Than they've been playing
19:13112-74
19:16I like it when you make
19:17Free throws
19:18So they missed a couple
19:19Lately
19:21No, Kamar
19:22Trying to navigate
19:23Jokic
19:24Bounce pass
19:25Down the middle
19:25Jokic got his hand
19:26On it
19:27And an
19:27Obdia
19:27Fumbles it out
19:28Of bounds
19:30Now Nikola Jokic
19:33Getting his hands
19:37And working it
19:42Murray
19:44Murray backs up
19:454-3
19:46Short
19:47And the last three
19:48He's missed
19:48Now
19:49They're all short
19:50And you wonder
19:51Questionable to play
19:52Is it kind of
19:53Wearing out
19:53A little bit
19:55Long rebound
19:56Skip it
19:57Corner threes
19:58On the way
19:58That's no good
19:59Remember the Nuggets
20:00On a back-to-back
20:01No rest
20:02They've been very
20:03Very good
20:04In that scenario
20:10Down the middle
20:11To Jokic
20:12And a foul call
20:16They call this
20:18Grant
20:19Or Kamar
20:20They're
20:20Grant
20:24They've gone
20:25Small
20:26In Denver
20:28And Adelman
20:29Saw that
20:29Just called a play
20:30To get it inside

21:03Murray might be done
21:04For the evening
21:05If all works out
21:06Well
21:07Right
21:07Spencer Jones
21:08Five points
21:09Five rebounds
21:10In his opening
21:12Stint
21:13Jokic
21:14And a couple
21:15Other hustle plays
21:16That probably
21:16Don't
21:17You know
21:17Show up
21:18On a scoreboard
21:19Nuggets
21:20Are on a
21:20Nine-nothing
21:21Scoring run
21:24Jokic
21:25Another rebound
21:25We've talked
21:27Many many times
21:28About how great
21:29His hands are
21:30And
21:31Coordination
21:36Trying to get
21:37The back cut
21:37Henderson
21:38Scoped it out
21:42Hardaway gets it back
21:44Two-pointer
21:45On the way
21:45Everything going
21:46In tonight
21:48116 to 74
21:52Now Henderson
21:53Around the corner
21:54Jokic
21:56Well they're going to call
21:57Late foul
22:00I think it's on Jokic
22:02Think it's on Jokic
22:05Two on Jokic
22:11And scoot Henderson is at the line
22:18Three throw good
22:19Hey AFW brings you the highest quality furniture
22:22At the best prices anywhere
22:23When you can't be at the game
22:25The best seat in the house
22:26Is American Furniture Warehouse
22:29So scoot
22:30The second youngest
22:31Of seven siblings
22:33All the siblings
22:34Named
22:35Scoot
22:35Or Scoota
22:36Because that's how
22:37He used to get across
22:38The floor
22:39As a little baby
22:42No
22:43Kamara
22:44Over to Hardaway
22:45Hardaway
22:46Fly by
22:47Extra pass
22:48Johnson for three
22:49And the Nuggets continue to cook
22:51I'm not sure why
22:52They're doubling Joker
22:5340 feet away
22:55Because he's dangerous man
22:57Now Kamara
22:59Long range
22:59No
23:00Hardaway
23:00Scampers and grabs it
23:02In the corner
23:03That's Joker
23:03Transition
23:05Give it to Hardaway
23:07Wide open
23:08Cam Johnson
23:09Try it again
23:13Murray
23:13Strother
23:14Hardaway
23:14Johnson
23:15Joker
23:15Oh my gosh
23:18Well now that was I think intentional by holiday
23:22I think he's trying to send a little bit of a message
23:28They may try to challenge us even I don't know
23:30Yeah, they are challenging
23:34That's a hard collision
23:45Tell you what holiday
23:48You see he's listed at 6'4
23:50He's 35 years old
23:51But he has put together
23:55Now the officials will take a look
24:00This coach's challenge is presented by Ameritrust Credit Union where your financial well-being is our purpose
24:08Well, coach's challenge right here
24:14Well, Joker accentuates it, right?
24:17He's still moving
24:19He's still moving
24:20He's still moving
24:21He's still moving
24:25He's still moving
24:27Well, he got in the way
24:36I don't know what they want to do
24:39As we mentioned at the top of the show
24:41The Nuggets 35 and 21 overall
24:44The fourth in the West
24:46Percentage points back of third place
24:48Houston
24:48Game up on the fifth place
24:50Lakers
24:52The Nuggets have lost three straight here in Portland
24:55Try to snap that streak if they can
24:57Of course, Portland 10th in the West
25:01They're in the final playing spot right now
25:07How do you see this one, Scott?
25:10Well, how holiday is still moving
25:12Did Jordan Joker get in his path?
25:15That's what they're going to determine
25:19It probably should just been a no call to start with
25:23Going to give him the Chris Marlowe rule on that one, Scotty
25:27We fall down, no foul call
25:29They're going to try to do everything they can to reverse this
25:32I mean, it's in that big of a play
25:38Either you think holiday is still moving or you think joker just jumped in the way
25:43Well holiday certainly he's moving
25:47But the joker just jump out of his path to do it and if so didn't establish himself
25:54It's also the big questions kind of i'm going to give it to you right here
25:57That is yokich in legal guarding position
26:05What is up
26:08I think joker tried to run into his path
26:13Which that's what they'll they'll find the rule like i think port will probably win it
26:19But i told you they want him to win this so they'll make sure and change it
26:27So waiting for curtis blair here
26:32He's explaining to tiago splitter
26:34Oh the joker
26:37After review we have a defensive file on joker for stepping in the path for holiday
26:44Therefore it will be two shots for holiday
26:46All right
26:50Now yoke is thought he had defensive position according to the officials he did not
26:56Well
26:57No one has defensive position when you're running out to guard somebody but i i'm not sure joker's intent wasn't
27:03to get in holiday's path and try to get that
27:09Try to draw the foul you see what you're saying correct
27:15Well curtis blair's explained to him as if joker was setting the screen joker said i wasn't setting the screen
27:20i was trying to go outside
27:25Yoke is 32 8 and 7 and some lobbying going on here
27:31And the coaches challenge successful portland will have one more if they need it
27:41Biggest lead tonight has been 43
27:46So far
27:47And now we got a whistle on a hold i believe on crechey
27:54A long night
27:56We done yesterday's fourth quarter with all what 28 free throws between the two teams
28:00And the two teams
28:02Cam johnson very effective at moving without the basketball
28:06Moving held there 11 points
28:11Rattles in
28:17Jokic still chatting with curtis blair
28:21And joker's still continuing i'm trying to get through to the outside guy going out
28:27Curse Blair saying no you try to set a screen
28:31And guess who was right
28:34Guys in great
28:37150 to go third quarter the nuggets have put up 121
28:44Good defense and better offense
28:52They have none to lose so watch for them take a lot of shots
28:56That cuts the lead to 40
28:59Hardaway
29:00And hardaway bags another 15 footer
29:04That was him hardaway jr. He's got 16 off the bench
29:10Down the middle
29:12Crechey backs up
29:14Feet on the run
29:20Oh bruce see that'll go and turn over to joker
29:23And that's on bruce brown that hits his inner hand
29:26That's like a wide receiver that gets in your hand you got to come down with it if he does
29:30he's got a layup
29:40Great she chased out of the key
29:44Holiday
29:45Holiday nope rebound jokic
29:49Jokic edging closer and closer to another triple double
30:00Hardaway sling it over to yoke it's lost it
30:05And yoke it's reaching in
30:08And a foul
30:11And they're going to call take foul hit
30:15And joker gas and if I go for the ball
30:21You know I don't think that's a horrible result remember it's only one shot you do get the ball back
30:37Holiday tonight he's got 19 points he's been good
30:41Abdi with 14 13 assists
30:44Henderson with 11 kamara with 10
30:52Final 25 seconds third quarter
30:56Get right home and turn it over them
30:58He did he wants to get that right hand
31:02Nuggets by and large have done a pretty good job there 21 seconds remaining
31:10One twenty three eighty four
31:16They thought of is putting a stiff arm in
31:20Kim johnson's chest he doesn't like that call either
31:24That free throw is coming
31:26He might get a technical alert
31:27Avdi energized for sure
31:31Cam johnson five for six at the line tonight
31:45Now get this low zero down lease on a bill ford tough f-150 for just 479 a month
31:53Jonas valanciunas checks in for nikola jokic
31:55jokic sits with 32 nine rebounds and seven assists
32:05A couple of free throws for cam on a 15 and a half seconds remaining
32:13In the third quarter
32:17Yeah, that score is right 125 84
32:22Well, here we go boy. I'll be just careening off moose brown
32:30Spencer jones picks up the foul
32:32Good job selling that a little bit
32:36spencer has a habit of kind of pushing the screen a little bit to
32:40Get outside
32:44We've officially slowed this game down because the whistles
32:50Of the free throw. No good. Hey tired of replacing your roof every couple of years break the cycle
32:56And get your roof for a lifetime from redhawk roofing go with the pros redhawk roofing
33:08Final
33:10Eight and a half seconds
33:11Hardaway can let one rip here. He does
33:16In and out
33:17Long he kind of it goes it does not and that is the end of the third quarter
33:23We head to the fourth quarter the nuggets up by 40

34:58In los angeles
34:59To a pretty good clipper state yeah different energy for sure
35:04Balanchunas no
35:06And his shot the second one was blocked
35:13Great team
35:15You just gotta be careful you're up 40
35:19And anything anything close is going to be touchy-touchy so
35:25Balanchunas got to be a little bit more careful
35:30He didn't give him space to land
35:33Be crazy is at the free throw line now and tunas picks up his second file
35:40Of course you may not go back far enough to know that this portland team won an nba championship back

51:47and a foul
51:50what have you liked most about this game scott i know that big scoring totals we'll get into that when
51:56we
51:56come back we're going to step aside for a moment the nuggets with two minutes remaining
52:07leading by 55. you did the math
52:11give me back to the motor center where the nuggets have put on
52:15a show offensively they lead it 156 to 101 time now to take off with southwest airlines
52:23got a lot of taking off tonight taking off and landing
52:28nuggets out on the break
52:30and cam johnson
52:35understated cam johnson 15 points today
52:39got a lot of work at the free throw line
52:43our southwest airlines take off chris marlowe scott hastings katie wingie
52:50nicole yokich i think scott came out and set the tone individually for the nuggets
52:54with 19 in that first quarter yeah no no question on the way to a
53:02nba actually nuggets franchise record for most points scored on the road in in a win too by the way
53:10the high was 154 and a loss
53:14had an interesting conversation during the break with tim hardaway came over here
53:18and i said simpson got a little speed on a little wiggle and he goes oh i know first time
53:23i saw him in
53:23practice about about shook me out of my shoes
53:27so the nuggets coming off the disappointment of last night
53:31a one-point loss in los angeles for the clippers
53:34and they came out motivated with energy
53:40homes long range no sissoko has it
53:45soko's on the run
53:48trying to draw the foul officials let it go
53:53simpson and down he goes
53:58it's always good to have another option a speedy guard off the bench well it's
54:03if we're being real honest you know strother's probably been your fastest guy as far as going
54:08downhill bruce adds a little bit of that too but simpson once again he's a two-way player
54:15you never know but he does have a little wiggle and speed katie i don't know what you thought
54:22while you watch him over there well i have noticed absolutely that he's speedy they love his defense
54:26they like you mentioned they want to see his shooting improve but one of the things that david
54:30adelman talked about when i asked him about acquiring him yesterday was he just fit the culture
54:34of the denver nugget so as a person he came into the room and immediately fit right he said we
54:40know
54:40we have a good group of guys in that locker room and they accepted him right away so it's exciting
54:44to
54:44see him in this franchise in particular guys we know this they have a tendency to take two-way
54:49players and make them into full-time nba guys you think about monte morris you think about tory craig
54:54you think about spencer jones now kj simpson has a real opportunity here to do something
55:02portland playing out the string
55:07spencer jones i think with his tenth rebound now we've just been told that 157 points
55:13that's the most scored by any team in the nba this season
55:18strongly missed it easier in there he saw big fella come fly at him
55:23you know playing out the string under a minute remaining
55:31for the good move the nuggets on no rest they're going to be eight and four now on back-to
55:37-backs
55:38don't forget the first bank halftime report is coming up dick lombardi chris dempsey
55:51six players now make it seven in double figures yokich 32 9 and 7
55:57murray 25 6 and 6. spencer jones double double ten and ten
56:05hardaway off the bench for 19 christian brown with 11 8 and 7
56:12cam johnson 15 4 and 4 so with the win the denver nuggets are going to improve to 36 and
56:2021 overall
56:21they're going to be 21 and 10 now on the road the blazers drop to 27 and 30 overall 16
56:29and 14
56:30at home when nicole yokich came out tonight like a man possessed and the nuggets bounce back in a big
